Flying is magical.
Until you’re stuck in seat 32B, your knees touching the tray table, breathing someone else’s perfume 😅
Air travel is a shared survival exercise. So here’s a loving reminder of things you should absolutely NEVER do on a plane.
🚫 1. Bathe in Perfume Before Boarding (even if it is an expensive one)
Picture by Me
A plane is not a fragrance launch event. Cabin air is recycled. What smells “luxurious” to you becomes a chemical attack to the row behind you.
Some passengers get: Migraines, Allergies, Nausea. If your scent enters the aircraft before you do… it’s too much.
🚫 2. Play Reels, Voice Notes or Music Without Headphones
Picture by Me
No one wants to hear:
Your Instagram feed
Your motivational podcast
Your 3-minute WhatsApp family update
If you forgot headphones, congratulations…today you scroll silently.
🚫 3. Recline Like You’re in Business Class
You may recline. But not like you’re collapsing backward in emotional distress.
Look behind. Recline gently. The person behind you may be:
Eating
Working
Existing peacefully
We don’t need surprise gravity experiments.
🚫 4. Spread Like You Own Row 32
Armrest law (ancient and sacred):
Window gets the wall.
Aisle gets the leg stretch.
Middle gets BOTH armrests. They earned it.
Do not:
Elbow aggressively.
Let your hair hang over someone’s screen.
Place your bare foot anywhere near humanity.
Yes. This happens.
🚫 5. Stand Up the Second the Plane Lands
The plane has stopped. The door has not opened.
We are not escaping. Standing immediately achieves nothing except collective irritation.
You will get off the aircraft. I promise.
✨ The Golden Rule of Air Travel
Before doing anything, ask yourself:
“If 200 people behaved exactly like me right now… would this flight feel calm or chaotic?”
That’s it.
That’s the rule.
Just a small ad break before we go to something more
Your supplements need a system too.
People who are serious about their health already know: keeping up with your supplements can get complicated.
And you're probably tracking it all in a notes app. Or a spreadsheet. Or just trying to remember.
SuppCo is changing all that. Their dedicated app lets you digitize your cabinet, get expiration reminders, and catch nutrient overlaps you didn't know existed.
Plus, their StackScore calculates the quality and balance of your routine to help you make optimizations.
Your workouts have a system. Your diet has a plan. Your supplements should too. Get your StackScore from SuppCo and see where your stack stands.
Something More:
👶 Babies Cry. We Understand. But Let’s Try.
Let’s say this clearly: Babies are adorable. Babies are innocent.
Babies owe us nothing.
And yes — babies cry on flights. That’s normal. Cabin pressure hurts tiny ears. New environments are overwhelming.
We cannot expect silence.
But…
Parents can prepare.
For example:
A pacifier during takeoff and landing helps with ear pressure.
Feeding during ascent can reduce discomfort.
Bringing small comfort toys can distract.
Walking the aisle gently (when allowed) can calm them.
No one expects perfection.
But visible effort makes all the difference.
Most passengers become instantly more patient when they see parents trying.
🦶 The Tiny Human Kicking Your Seat
Now this one…
Small children don’t realise that kicking the seat in front of them feels like repeated mini earthquakes.
But parents do.
If your child keeps: Kicking, Pushing, Pulling the tray
Please gently correct it. The person in front shouldn’t have to turn around three times.
We know kids are kids.
We just don’t want 6 hours of back massage we didn’t ask for 😅
✨ A Gentle Reminder for Everyone
Air travel is hardest for:
Parents
Elderly passengers
People with anxiety
People with medical conditions
We’re all dealing with something. So here’s the balance:
Parents → prepare and try.
Passengers → show grace and patience.
Kindness at 35,000 feet goes a long way.
